I am only 4'10" tall. This has a deep step. Am I too short for this machine? It seems I am too small for most of the gym machines.

I think you could use it. I put my right foot on and bring the step down then do the left one. This machine is really a good workout!

The gym is more than 6' tall .... But if you have the headroom it is a wonderful machine !

I am 5'10". The machine works fine for me. At 5'5" seeing the display and feeling the fan might be a problem. The fan and display are small. The machine is very quiet and smooth. I listen to music while exercising.

I am 5'4" and I am using this machine to work my shoulders, core and lower back. I find that by adjusting my legs i.e. push with legs and knees (shoulders, back), straight legged (core, shoulders, back), and alternate weight on each leg (core, back) that I am getting the desired results I wanted. By focusing on which muscles I want to work on, I find my body works on them accordingly. Hope this helps you. I really love this machine. I crave my sessions on it as opposed to dreading that 'work-out'. Very relaxing and you can work as hard or soft as you like.

that height is fine, it depends more on foot size! :) My feet are US 13, and they didn't clear the cross bar at back of machine, so kept hitting it. See my notes on how to raise the platform up so bigger feet will clear it. I understand the more expensive one has corrected the problem. I'd get the more expensive one if at all possible, not worth the trouble to alter the cheaper one unless you got it at a steal. enjoy

I am 5 10 and the room where I use this has an 82 inch ceiling. I cannot raise the incline of the machine without hitting the ceiling. It's still acceptable for me. If you have a sporting goods store that carries this, go with a friend and bring a tape measure to measure height.

The height of the machine is 7ft. I have a 10ft ceiling and it is just right. You will not be able to do muscle ups unless you have a 12ft ceilings.

Sounds like you are about the height of the woman in the picture of the treadmill. It was recommended by a man who was about 5'11 and was a personal trainer. It should be fine. I used it because it fit under my stand-up desk. I still use it there.If I had it to do over again I would look for one with a small footprint, like this, but with padding in the platform. It has worked fine for a few years now. We had to adjust the belt a couple of times because it would get off center and rub against the side making noxious smells of burning tread. But once we adjusted it was fine.

I'm 5'5" and can lengthen my stride quite a bit, and still have plenty of room left where I'm not bumping against the front or getting near the back of the treadmill. You could take the measurement of your stride at your normal brisk walking pace and see how long it is. I just measured the belt and there's 43" of free space between the front and the back. That's a lot of room.

No, it is too short. I used it very nicely for 2 steps. You may be able to put it on 3 steps but that is fairly steep.

I am 5' and my ceiling is 7' and I have no problems using this machine. The pedals highest spot is 18 1/2 ". But if you are short you will have problems using the moving arms. I am thinking of taking mine off as I can not use them.

Replaced my previous answer after double-checking the specs. The machine is 80 inches tall, so about 6'8". We set this up in a room that we re-purposed as a gym. I'm 6'4" and it is comfortable to use.

I only 5'2", so can't speak for my experience. However, my room mate is 6'3" and uses it as a cycle sometimes. He doesn't seem to have any problems. I think the stride length would probably be an issue if you wanted to use it as an elliptical.

I am 5' 2" (o.k. 5'1 3/4") ... have a Sole F85 Treadmill (checked 1st w/ TrekDesk to confirm it would work with that) .. have a mat under the treadmill .. using the Treadmill/ TrekDesk for approx. 1 month now... TrekDesk on lowest height... no probs. 5"0" should work just fine!

Your height is not a problem. There is no pedals, you are going to strap your feet into the straps so any person of any size will not have any problems. It is a great machine for the money!

I'm 5'2 and it's just perfect but for 5'10 it might be a little to low.It pays to have one it's just so much fun and exciting. I lost quiet a few inches. Great exercise and loads of fun just you have to see if the size will work for you. Good luck

My wife's 5'4" as well, and ours is set at the step above the lowest setting. No problem.
